aanpak waar je nou 's géén kind van krijgt. Goed nieuws show: 't stinkt en we gaan 't effe anpakken: 100 stoelen, eerst komt, eerst maalt




de hypocrisie kennelijk bij voorbaat buiten de deur gezet en de vraag wat doen we met de slachtoffers, vreten we ze op of niet, gewoon openlijk als laatste topic. Da's nu een seminar om even stiekem om door het raam te willen kijken, en bepaald niet alleen om het verdacht leuke wapen van een kardinaal.

Let us not be complacent that the continent of Asia is an exception to the issue of sexual abuse. One is overwhelmed by the pathetic sharing of painful emotions by some lay victims, seminarians, priests and women religious during counseling sessions for the past two decades. Thus it is an urgent task before us, especially the leaders of the Church, to come together to devise some mechanisms to prevent future occurrences of child abuse by
Church men/women.

Let us not be complacent that pedophilia is a problem of the West or the other continents of the world, it is equally prevalent in many countries of Asia.
